Deep peace of the running waves to you,Deep peace of the flowing air to you,Deep peace of the smiling stars to you,Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you,Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you,

St. Patrick the patron saint of Ireland settled in the valley around 440 AD and found a church, monastery and nunnery. Across the River Bonet from the village of Dromahair there is also Creevelea, a Franciscan Friary, which was founded in 1508 by Margaret, wife of Owen O'Rourke.
